Ada Developers Academy seeks to change a lack of diversity in tech by creating a learning platform that trains women and gender-expansive people to enter the industry and reach their goals. Students can come to hold jobs with tech giants like Amazon, Google and Microsoft after just one year, most of them witnessing life changing salary increases.    In this episode Jodi Petrie, March EVP, and Lauren Sato, CEO of Ada, discussed the reality of the tech world today and how Ada is playing a role in propelling the careers of minorities in the tech world and changing the tech landscape to be a level playing field for all.

The Innovator’s Mic, from March Communications, explores technology, innovation and the people who make it happen. Each episode we’ll pick the brains of true innovators who hail from across the technology, marketing and PR worlds, getting into the weeds of what makes them tick, how they get their stories out there, and what they’re focused on right now. 
From AI to health tech to diversity and inclusion in tech, listen in as we discuss the intricacies of what it’s like to have a tech insider’s knowledge with an outsider’s perspective.
